    • Do not bleach or dye the seat belt webbing. Clean the seat belt webbing only with a mild soap and water solution and a soft brush or cloth.
    • Keep sharp edges and damaging objects away from the seat belts. Avoid bending or damaging any part of the seat belt buckle or latch plate.
    • Replace any seat belts which are cut or damaged in any way.
    • Use only correct seat belt anchor bolts and screws.
       -  Tighten the bolts and the screws to the correct torque value. Refer to Fastener Tightening Specifications .
       - When installing the seat belt anchor bolts, start the bolt by hand in order to ensure that the bolt is threaded straight.
    • Some seat belts and retractors must be serviced as a set with service replacement parts only. Do not attempt to make repairs to the individual components which are only serviced as a set.
    • Verify that the replacement part number is correct for the vehicle at that seating position. Do not substitute a seat belt from a different seating position.
